HD Deve Gowda said Janata Dal (Secular) will fight the Lok Sabha elections independently<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bengaluru: <\/b><\/p>\n

The Janata Dal (Secular) would fight the Lok Sabha elections independently, the party supremo and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, said today, ruling out the possibility of an electoral tie-up with the NDA.<\/p>\n

Mr Gowda’s son and former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said last week his party would work together with the BJP against the Congress government on various issues, fueling speculation of the two parties joining hands for next year’s polls.<\/p>\n

Both the JD(S) and the BJP MLAs had boycotted the Assembly session after 10 BJP legislators were suspended from the House for “indecent and disrespectful conduct”.<\/p>\n

“JD(S) will fight the Lok Sabha elections independently”, Deve Gowda told a news conference in Bengaluru.<\/p>\n

“Whether we (the party) win five, six, three, two or one seat, we will fight the Lok Sabha elections independently”, he said. “We will field candidates only in those places where we are strong after consulting with our workers,” he added.
